A great shot showing when Bowen Island, BC was a major steamship destination for BC based tourists circa 1940's. The small Island, which is a 20 minute ferry ride accessed from Horseshoe Bay today, was a popular destination for company picnics, weekend getaways and summer vacations. Many of you of a certain vintage would have traveled to the Island via downtown Vancouver on the Union Steamships vessel the 'Lady Alexandra.'
